    550g final drive seal replacement

    Never done one on a John Deere. What kind of a project is this? Any tips or pictures? Any help is appreciated. Got some wire wound around it and apparently cut the seal. Thanks a lot

    Dump truck box won't come down

    That's exactly what I asked the guys. I wasn't down there. But they said they removed all the blocks and there is absolutely no block still hiding out. But you're right, that was my first thought also

    Dump truck box won't come down

    We do have a front end loader down there and considered doing just that, but then we thought before we possibly cause more damage we better look into other avenues first

    Really nice rake for D8H and K for sale

    I thought I looked up and down for a buy and sell but apparently I missed it. Maybe someone can move it for me

    Dump truck box won't come down

    We parked our quad axle dump for the winter last november. The guys left the box up maybe a few feet off the frame. They fired the truck up to get ready for this year's work season and the box will go all the way up from the point it was left at, but when coming down it only goes to that point...

    How wide is a caterpillar D8H

    I have had a couple in the past but I don't recall the width. How wide is a cat D8H? Going to look at a few attachments for a friend that a woman claims came off a cat d8. Thanks

    Can the ends of the Dead shafts on the older caterpillars be built up and new threads cut in?

    I guess we would have to check for straightness once we get it apart. And we may just end up buying new ones. This is just a thought

    Can the ends of the Dead shafts on the older caterpillars be built up and new threads cut in?

    D7E. And yes the shafts are available. It was just a thought one of my guys brought up. Aftermarket they're about 1200 bucks a piece. I think from Cat they're about three or four grand. So it could be a substantial savings. But I agree I don't want to do anything shady and have it fail

    Can the ends of the Dead shafts on the older caterpillars be built up and new threads cut in?

    Here's another question. I know they do on site spindle repair and so on on trucks. Would it be possible to get someone to come out to my site and do that so we don't have to pull the Dead shafts? Is there such a setup?

    Can the ends of the Dead shafts on the older caterpillars be built up and new threads cut in?

    One of my guys is really a smart bugger and it kind of a machinist by experience. He figured they could be done

    Can the ends of the Dead shafts on the older caterpillars be built up and new threads cut in?

    One of my guys brought that up on that old D7 we have the final problems with. Just a question someone might know the answer to. We are slowly getting our heads together to tackle that project again this summer. Thank you

    Anyone interested in a good running 48a D7E with 3 blades?

    Won't do it in the field. Believe me, if knew my mechanic Jack was going to f*@k me like this and leave me hanging, i would have just brought it in
